Very nice pictures!! Amanda

No, I didn't have a lion tag for San Carlos, but even if I had one I don't know if I have the right to shoot a lion in a trapper's trap. It's his catch not mine. The trap appeared to be a steel leg hold trap without jaws on the metal. Amanda

Are those kinks in his g-2s on that second buck? It looks like they bend forward in a unique way or is that just from background veg. Amanda

Way to make the most of a tough situation! Congratulations on the deer and javies! So, let me get this straight, EVERYONE on the trip is named JIM or JIMMY!!! hehehe, that's pretty funny. What's up with that? Amanda

That's a gorgeous buck! Congratulations on a great buck with a bow! Nicely done! Amanda

Thanks Doug! I was breaking a sweat on a hike this afternoon. It was beautiful out, but warmer than it should be! Amanda

Are you using a 2GB card? If so, I wouldn't worry about using up too much space on the card. I have left my cam out for weeks shooting video and haven't filled the card yet. You can also set the seconds of video so that it's like 20-40 secs rather than a minute and save space. Amanda

Congratulations Mike....perseverance paid off!! Amanda

Welcome to the site! Have you tried the video feature yet? That's even more fun on these cams. Amanda

At least he turned himself in. I suppose in some cover it could look like an elk if you were intent on seeing one. And who expects a llama in the woods? Amanda

I don't know what level of trapping is going out there right now. Perhaps more now than before trapping was banned on public land. Tribal and non-tribal people can get trapping permits on San Carlos. Apparently lions aren't included as part of the trapping permit, but the guy can go buy a lion permit if he wants to keep a lion. Otherwise I guess he has to let it go.....wouldn't that be interesting to watch! Traps are required to be checked everyday. Amanda

Hope you have a great one Doug!!! Thanks for all you do around here! Amanda

Mike, I know exactly which picture you are talking about. I have it on my work computer, but not here at the house. I'll post it tomorrow am if you can't find it by then. here is the thread to her story and pics. http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/in...113&hl=jody and here is the pic you are referring to:

I posted info and photos of the buck in the archery photogallery a couple weeks ago. here is the link: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/archery_hunt..._hunters_26.htm

My husband just saw an article saying the mine in Morenci was laying off 1500 workers (about 1/2 of it's work force). Wow! Amanda

Gorgeous buck!! Wow, you must be thrilled. Amanda

That does look like a giant cat!! Wow!! Amanda

I might just have to. Javier says the photos don't do it justice and that you have to hold it to believe it. Anyone want to roadtrip to Hermosillo with me to score it? It's gonna take a long time to score that thing no doubt! Amanda

here is the other pic you are referring to: Javier says it's got 34 points on it! Didn't have an estimate of a score. That's why he wants me to go score it.....I am still trying to figure out if there is anyway I have that much time to devote to driving to Hermosillo to green score a buck..... Amanda

The buck was shot by a hunter from Oregon (first time coues hunter I believe). He was guided by Javier Monge from Mexafari outfitters (one of our sponsors!) and was hunted on a ranch that I think is owned or leased by Tachi Contreras of Coues Country Outfitters. Javier asked me to post these pics. He also thinks I need to drive to Hermosillo now to go score this buck! WOW, what a giant. Javier would like everyone to know that there are three tags available for this ranch for this season. He says to call him if you are interested. Javier has been a supporter of this website for years now and I have hunted with him several times. Feel free to call him if you are interested in more info. He gave me no indication on price of the tags, except that they would be fairly expensive, as you might imagine based on this buck. ENJOY! I think this pic shows his size better than the others.... Tachi and Javier have been after this buck for awhile. here are his sheds from prior year: Amanda

I will be teaching some hunting classes that weekend to some ladies at saguaro lake ranch, so I can't be there with you all, but I hope you get a good crowd there. Amanda

Congrats Cory!! Amanda

Is dinner served to you yet? hope hubby can take his apron off by 7:00 Pm Just kidding Very Cool to be within 20yds of a live lion. Thanks for sharing with us. You the WOman Hehehehe....the lion really wasn't intimidating at all. It was just scared and trying to move away. Not threatening at all. Even if it had pulled free it wouldn't have come at me. Amanda

Nicely done finding that pig again. Congratulations! Amanda
